Chapter 137 - 131: She Is the Only Moon

Shen Xu walked over coldly and said, "Qingli, she can’t dance. With her clumsy moves, isn’t she going to make a fool of herself and ruin everyone’s mood?"

The people present started murmuring.

"Shen Tang might be a fake Princess, but she’s been in the Imperial Palace for so many years, and she still can’t dance?"

"No way, she’s so beautiful, turns out she’s just a pretty idiot."

"Fake is still fake, certainly can’t compare to the talents of the True Princess."

"I don’t believe it. Let her try dancing and give everyone a show."

The crowd was filled with jeers and cheers.

The young beastmen were all eagerly watching Shen Tang. During the ceremony, they hadn’t seen enough, but Xiao Jin and the others protect her so closely, they couldn’t even steal a glance. Now finding this opportunity, of course, they’re eager to stir things up for a good view.

The atmosphere reached a climax, being stared at by so many eyes, Shen Tang was cornered.

Shen Tang glanced lightly at the smiling Shen Qingli, her eyes chilling. This female lead was definitely doing it on purpose. She clearly knew the original wasn’t capable of dancing, but deliberately wanted to embarrass her.

"Anyone who yells again, I’ll—" Xiao Jin slammed the table, ready to curse in anger.

Shen Tang quickly grabbed his hand.

Xiao Jin lowered his head to meet her gentle gaze, feeling choked up and displeased, "You, don’t mind these worthless things! Legs are on your own, if you don’t want to dance, can anyone cut them?"

If anyone dared to say another useless word, he’d cut their legs!

Shen Tang smiled and assured, "It’s alright. On such an important occasion, we can’t ruin everyone’s mood. Let me dance as a show."

Xiao Jin’s expression tightened, "You really want to dance?"

Shen Li also hesitated, looking at Shen Tang. They grew up together, and he knew well that she was lazy, indulged in good food and leisure, never passing any palace etiquette or dance classes.

Shen Li pulled her back to her seat, his attitude gentle but firm, "Don’t push yourself. If you don’t want to do it, don’t mind these people’s words."

Lu Xiao and Jia Lan said nothing, but their faces were cool, their cold aura making everyone’s heart shudder, and the jeering faded away.

Shen Tang didn’t expect this bunch of beast men to protect her, warmth rose in her heart. She indeed couldn’t dance, luckily, the system rewarded her with the skill of Fantasy Dance Steps, just the right time to try.

Moreover, those attending the ceremony were either financial tycoons or foreign ambassadors, all people of status.

This was a rare opportunity.

To be humiliated, becoming the Empire’s laughingstock, turning into a sewer rat again.

If one could gain fame, people would remember the abandoned former Princess.

The female lead kindly gifted her with this opportunity, how could Shen Tang miss it!

Shen Tang chuckled, "No worries, I know my limits. As long as the distinguished guests don’t mind my ugly dancing, I’m willing to entertain everyone."

Shen Qingli coldly laughed inside, putting up quite the show. Waiting for her humiliation, she was determined to make her infamous!

Xiao Jin saw Shen Tang determined, worried but said no more.

Shen Li gently asked, "Who would Xiao Tang’er like to choose as your dance partner?"

Shen Tang glanced around, feeling appreciative. These four beast-husbands were all tall and handsome, many females secretly glanced over here, picking anyone to dance with her would bring prestige.

Xiao Jin noticed Shen Tang’s gaze skipped him, irritated, "Why don’t you choose me?"

Shen Tang retorted, "Can you dance?"

Xiao Jin downed a glass of wine, angrily sulking.

Before Shen Tang could choose who to bring on stage.

Jia Lan stood up, saying, "I’ll dance with you."

Shen Tang looked surprised, didn’t expect this beast man to stand out, this wasn’t his usual style!

In the past, Jia Lan couldn’t be bothered to glance at her, let alone get close in public.

The crowd also began whispering, didn’t this Sea Country Prince just say he had a broken leg?

In only two minutes, his leg healed?

Shen Qingli’s face felt burning hot, she gritted her teeth, her expression extremely ugly, yet still had to pose elegantly and kind-hearted in public, it almost killed her.

Shen Tang also twitched her lips, jesting, "Didn’t you break your leg?"

Jia Lan’s gaze fell on Shen Tang.

She was wearing a deep blue fishtail dress, accentuating her graceful figure, causing his ears to turn slightly red, he naturally avoided the gaze, pulling her into the dance floor, "Didn’t that leopard say you were a miracle doctor, healed me, didn’t he?"

Xiao Jin didn’t expect the day he’d shoot himself in the foot.

He watched the two holding hands in the dance floor, a vinegar jar metaphorically overturning in his heart.

Shen Li and Lu Xiao turned to look, their expressions didn’t change much, but their fingertips clenched tightly around the wine glass.

Jia Lan wore a deep blue haute couture suit, tall and straight figure, his refined and handsome face like an Ancient Greek sculpture, exuding a noble and indifferent aura.

Shen Tang wore a fishtail dress adorned with fine diamonds, graceful figure, skirt trailing on the floor.

At first glance, they seemed like a couple.

This eye-catching duo instantly captured the attention of the entire hall.

Jia Lan placed his palm on Shen Tang’s waist, another hand lifted hers, under countless stares, bowed down to kiss.

Shen Tang looked at the youth’s slightly red ears, she too couldn’t control a blushing heart.

No doubt raised in the Sea Country Palace Prince, Jia Lan’s every move was noble and graceful, even the gestures were perfect, making it hard to look away.

Young females stared at him eagerly, envious and jealous, wishing the dancing female was them.

Shen Qingli almost lost her composure, her fingers tightly pinched into her palm flesh, resentfully staring at the two figures in the dance floor, wished she could pierce Shen Tang.

Thinking she’d soon be humiliated and become a laughingstock, barely suppressed the jealousy inside.

Her lips curled in a cold smile, waiting to see how arrogant this bitch would be later.

Under warm lighting, accompanied by melodious music, the dance floor spun with a swirl of movements by both men and women.

Jia Lan initially thought Shen Tang couldn’t dance, intentionally slowed his movements to lead her.

But soon discovered she could gracefully follow every beat, their moves becoming increasingly synchronized.

A clear voice filled with surprise, "You can dance?"

"Despite spending so many years in the Imperial Palace, how could I not know even a little?" Just then she tiptoed closer, whispered in his ear, "Of course, it’s thanks to having such a good dance partner!"

Jia Lan’s eyes darkened, his Adam’s apple moved.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Jia Lan affection +5!]

Shen Tang was a little taken aback, hadn’t had the chance to recover her thoughts, Jia Lan embraced her waist, spun gracefully. The luxurious skirt flowed like layered ocean waves, starlight streaming through the lonely deep sea.

Their dance steps became increasingly smooth and graceful, like beautiful mermaids playing and twining in the sea, exuding unspeakable magical beauty.

The noisy hall suddenly went silent, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

Other dancers in the pool stopped their movements, observing the scene, eyes filled with wonder and fascination.

So beautiful!

Stars and waves wove her dress, not only young beastmen were awed, but even females held their breath, reluctant to look away.

Shen Qingli initially invited a handsome noble young man to dance, many were captivated by her beautiful dance.

But in this moment, the starlit sky dimmed.

Shen Tang became the only moon in the dance floor.
